LISTENING TO MONITOR MEMORIES

Once you store frequencies into moni- tor memories using a direct or limit search or weather scan, you can listen to a monitor memory by pressing MANUAL, MONITOR, and then the number for the monitor memory you want to listen to.

Note: To listen to the monitor memo- ries, the priority channel feature must be turned off.

3.Press MONITOR. Use the number keys or turn the rotary tuner to select the monitor memory’s num- ber. The channel number flashes and the frequency appears.

4.Press E. The scanner stores the frequency into the selected chan- nel.

SCANNING CHANNELS

To begin scanning channels, press SCAN. The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks. (See “Turning Channel-Stor- age Banks On and Off” below and “Locking Out Channels” on Page 25.)

Note: If the scanner does not scan, be sure you have set SQUELCH correctly.

Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 20 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the bank you want to turn on or off. If the memory bank number at the top of the display is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked out. If the number is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within that bank.

Notes:

•You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.

•There must be at least one active bank. You cannot turn off all banks.
